Hey y'all!

Last night my dog was in the back yard by herself for a little while, while we had a "birthday cake picnic" on the living room floor. When we were done and I brought her back into the house, I noticed a medium sized common toad hopping off the patio.

Moments after bringing her into the house, I realized she was foaming at the mouth and had some slime on her muzzle and face. (I'm guessing the slime on her face came from shaking her head and flinging it from her mouth...or rubbing at it with a paw?)

I checked around for anything she could have gotten into, but our backyard is pretty tidy and there's not much out there. No kids had been playing with bubble-soap recently, so none of that was available to her.

Other than the foaming, which cleared up quickly after I brought her in and washed her mouth out, she was acting perfectly fine and normal. This morning, she was frantic to get outside to potty, which is unusual and she had some runny poos. But her appetite is normal and she seems completely fine now.

If she had grabbed that toad with her mouth...would it cause this kind of reaction? And if so...is there any lingering affects that I should be concerned about or watching for? Could our backyard toads be dangerous for her?

((And yes! I know I need to post updated pictures of her! I will soon, I promise!))
